the divine art, it is singular that as Gel
ebrated a musical organization as the
New York Philharmonic club should
have been permitted to slip through the
city without giving concert. The
members are on their way to the Vel
lOwStOne for a months recreation and
stopped over yesterday to take in the
beauties of our metropolis. The hot
weather and the strain ON their voices
that would be required to get up to the
st. Paul elevated standard of music
probably deferred the club from giving
us sample of its musical qualities. =

Was it mistaken mercy or not? A
Georgia murderer was on the scaffold
the other day just Oh the eve of being
launched into eternity. The death
warrant had been read, the final prayer
had been offered and the condemned
man had just concluded his farewell adj
dress, with an urgent invitation to his
friends to meet him in heaven, when his
attorney appeared ON the scene with
reprieye signed by the governor of the
state. The man was released, and now
the probabilities are that when his
friends get to heaven they will not be
able to find him there.

The Clover clubs recent effort to
boom CHAUNCY M. DEPEw into prOmi-
nence as presidential candidate is fol-
lowed with suggestion from Town
Topics that the Clover club ticket for
what would be better, to reverse the
ticket and make it read DOMAIN and
DEPEw. because DOMAIN is the most
widely known and has the greater fol-
lowing. The Town Topics says that
DOMAIN was followed out of Missouri in
1868 by the largest mob which ever car
rIed tar and feathers; was ridden out of
Kentucky on a rail with vast concourse
of people following the procession; was
invited to leave Deadwood by the entire
population, with shot guns in hand, and
was oratored out of Minnesota by it's
entire pulpit for writing up Methodist
conference as circus. Such follow
ing would elect any man to the presi-
dency.
Taking its cue from the Standard Oil
company'S manner of doing business,
an association has organized under
the name of the Cattle Trust, with the
object of controlling the fresh beef
supply OF the entire nation. 1t origin
ated with the Wyoming Stock associa-
ton, of Cheyenne, which already has
under its control s15,OO0,OO0 worth of
cattle and grazing lands. At the pres
ent rate of progress the business of the
entire country will soon be under the
control of irresponsible trusts.

GEORGE FRANCIS TRAINS memory
will never fade from view as long as
Omaha has printing press. Twenty

1t is an anomalous and disiointed con-
dition of affairs in the labor world when
ayoung man, in the prime and vigor of
life, is driven to the desperation of

couldn't find employment, and that, too,
in community where 1000 laborers are
out on strike because they think they
have too much work to do. There
ought to be some sort of an evening up
process to remedy such Irregularities.

1t is so seldom that there is occasion
for complaint of the lack of efficiency in
the st. Paul fire department that it be-
comes all the more painful to speak
a word of censure in relation to the dis
aStr0uS accident occaSioned last even
ing by the collision of two ladder trucks.
Such accidents are liable to occur at any
time, therefore the more care should
have been taken to guard against them.
